An unexpected windfall of $800,000 for the Lafayette Consolidated Government will mean a similar windfall for some top administrators.

The LCG found out about the extra funds this week, thanks to a boom in taxable properties. Some council members say they found out only a few hours before the scheduled vote Thursday on the 2014 budget that the budget included pay raises of at least $172,726 from the windfall for LCG salary increases.
